It was a real shame York didn't come up, and with the commitment to play all our friendlies against SL teams our only chance would be in the cup.

The obvious game against 'lower' opposition would be Keighley

Aren't we duel reg with them next year....

Are we? First I've heard of that, though I'd agree it makes sense if it's allowed for championship clubs, that is?

I hope they push the link up through quickly because it makes sense on so many levels. Not only do Keighley hold us in high regard, viewing us as a benevolent big brother, but they are also very comfortable with duel registration and the way it is policed.

Go on, post that on the Cougar board....I dare you!!

TROLL MODE INITIATED: I don't think they have the internet in BD20-22 do they? TROLL MODE OFF

Some kind of analogue version, I believe. I think it works by burning vehicles on Braithwaite and then wafting rugs at it and trying to control the smoke. Biggest trouble seems to be that no-one really knows whether the well known problems of reading it are caused by poor wafting or poor spelling..

Friendly against Leeds too as Jamie Peacock testimonial. Don't know the date though.

It was being reported via Facebook that we are playing Castleford for Andy Lynch's Testimonial on January 11th (although I can't locate a link now)

If true, then with Huddersfield on the 28th, it would seem we'd play Leeds on January 25th
